What this means for your family
This facility has a dedicated administrative and therapy team that many families find helpful, but the recurring reports of poor sanitation and neglect are serious red flags. If you are considering this facility, I strongly recommend conducting an unannounced visit to check the cleanliness of the rooms and observing how quickly staff respond to call bells.
